ISI being wrongfully defamed internationally: Rehman Malik

Karachi : Pakistan's Interior Minister Rehman Malik on Tuesday angrily rejected documents leaked by the whistle-blowing web site WikiLeaks showing the Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI) in bad light.


"The ISI is being wrongfully defamed internationally,” Interior Minister Rehman Malik told reporters here.

While his ministry is responsible for the police and some paramilitary units, the ISI is under exclusive control of the military.

“The ISI is not and has never been involved in politics,” the Dwn quoted Malik, as saying.

He praised the intelligence agency for serving Pakistan “so tremendously”.

“The ISI is a patriotic organisation which has a huge role in combatting terrorism. Those who are trying to bring the ISI into disrepute would never succeed in their design,” he said. ANI
